The story behind DOGE is one that is known by few in the crypto ecosystem. It inspired the creation of Dogecoin by Billy Markus and others in 2013. The legacy of the dog included bringing memes into the blockchain ecosystem in which the ecosystem has grown to be more valuable than $60.2 billion in market capitalization.
The story of Harambe featured in the post is not what many knew. Harambe is a Silver-back Gorilla that died on May 28 2016 through gunshot wound from the zookeeper. It happened that a 3-year old boy visiting the zoo fell into Harambe’s enclosure. The aggressive animal thus dragged the boy, prompting the gunshot intervention from the zookeeper.
One intriguing similarity between Harambe and Kabosu is that they both died in May. Also both Harambe and Kabosu lived for 17 years before their death.
